Nakon što kreirate ili modifikujete slike u Photoshopu, u  PSD formatu, možete brzo da kopirate i pejstujete celu ili deo slike koja ima  više slojeva. Isto tako možete da ubacite ceo PSD fajl u Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver će automatski da optimizuje slike u izabrani  format (GIF, JPEG ili PNG). Pre nego što ubacite PSD fajl na web stranicu  potrebno je da ga snimite na lokaciju gde se nalaze i ostali fajlovi web sajta.   Kada ubacite ceo PSD fajl, Dreamweaver kreira Smart Object koji zadržava vezu  sa Photoshopom. Da biste kreirali Smart Object iz Photoshop fajla, uradite  sledeće:  Otvorite web stranicu na koju želite da ubacite sliku.   Kliknite unutar dokumenta na mesto na koje biste želeli  da dodate sliku.   U liniji menija izaberite Insert a zatim kliknite na  komandu Image.   Potražite PSD sliku koju želite a zatim kliknite na OK.   Kliknite na karticu Options a zatim specifikujte format,  kvalitet i opcije umekšavanja.   Kliknite na karticu File a zatim specifikujte opcije  skaliranja.   Kliknite na OK.

U programima za  procesiranje reči imate sva slova abecede i specijalne karaktere. Specijalni  karakteri služe da bolje iskažete vašu misao. U Dreamweaveru  možete da upotrebite podmeni Special Characters da biste dodali specijalne  karaktere na web stranicu. Da biste ubacili specijalni karakter na web  stranicu, uradite sledeće:  Otvorite web  stranicu na koju želite da dodate specijalni karakter.   Kliknite na  mesto na koje želite da dodate specijalni karakter da biste postavili tačku  unosa.   U liniji  menija kliknite na Insert a zatim izaberite komandu HTML > Special Characters.   Izaberite  specijalni karakter koji želite da ubacite na web stranicu.   Ako želite da  ubacite specijalni karakter koji nije dostupan u ovom podmeniju, kliknite na  opciju Other.   Izaberite  specijalni karakter koji želite i kliknite na OK.

Uključivanje jedne HTML stranice u drugu je veoma važan deo  web dizajna jer možete jednostavno i brzo da ažurirate ceo web sajt. Dreamweaver uključene HTML fajlove naziva fajl biblioteke.   Dakle, potrebno je da kreirate fajl biblioteke koji ćete kasnije upotrebiti  prilikom dizajniranja web sajta.   Otvorite panel Library tako što ćete kliknuti na Window >  Assets a zatim kliknite na dugme Library.   Selektujte deo  HTML fajla koji želite da konvertujete u element biblioteke.   Prevucite  selekciju u panel Library i otpustite taster miša.   Dajte naziv  fajlu biblioteke. Kada je kreiran  element biblioteke, možete da ga upotrebite na bilo kojoj stranici vašeg sajta.   Jednostavno prevucite element biblioteke na novu stranicu.

Verovatno jedna  od najvećih novina u računarskoj industriji je mogućnost poništavanja izvršene  radnje i ponovno izvršavanje iste. Dreamweaver vam  daje mogućnost da poništite greške i ponovo izvršite radnju koju ste slučajno  poništili. Panel History prikazuje akcije koje ste izvršili u Dreamweaveru i  omogućava vam da ih poništite i ponovo izvršite koliko god koraka želite. Da biste  upotrebili komande Undo i Redo, uradite sledeće:  Da biste  poništili poslednji izvršeni korak, u meniju Edit kliknite na komandu Undo ili  u liniji sa alatkama Standard kliknite na dugme Undo.   Da biste  vratili korak koji ste slučajno poništili, u meniju Edit kliknite na komandu  Redo ili u liniji sa alatkama Standard kliknite na dugme Redo. Da biste izvršili  komande Undo i Redo koristeći panel History, uradite sledeće:  Otvorite web  stranicu i izvršite nekoliko akcija.   U liniji  menija kliknite na Window a zatim kliknite na History da biste otvorili panel  History.   U panelu  History prikazana je lista svih koraka koje ste izvršili u dokumentu. Da biste  poništili više koraka, kliknite na strelicu koja se nalazi sa leve strane  panela History. Biće poništeni svi koraci koji su prikazani ispod strelice.

Dreamweaver vam  na panelu CSS Styles daje potpunu kontrolu nad internim i eksternim stilovima.   Panel CSS Styles omogućava vam da menjate stilove elemenata na stranici. Panel CSS Styles  sadrži listu svih internih i eksternih stilova koji su povezani sa aktivnom web  stranicom. Pored prikazivanja stilova, koji su poznati kao pravila (rules), CSS  Styles panel vam daje mogućnost da dodate stilove, modifikujete postojeće  stilove i tako dalje. Pomoću CSS Style  panela u Dreamweaveru možete da uradite sledeće:   Otvorite web  stranicu koja sadrži stilizovani tekst koji želite da pregledate.   U liniji  menija kliknite na Window a zatim na CSS Styles.   Otvoriće se  panel CSS Style. Dostupne su sledeće opcije:   All or Current  - prikazuje sve atilove aktivnog dokumenta ili selektovani stil.   Rules Window -  prikazuje listu pravila aktivnog dokumenta.   Properties  Window - prikazuje listu parametara za pravilo koje je selektovano u prozoru  Rules.   Show Category  View - prikazuje parametre za selektovano pravilo po kategorijama.   Show List View  - prikazuje parametre za selektovano pravilo u prikazu List.   Show Only Set  Properties - prikazuje samo set parametara.   Attach Style  Sheet - dodaje eksterni stil.   New CSS Rule -  kreira novi stil.   Edit Style  Sheet - otvara okvir za dijalog za modifikovanje stilova.   Disable/Enable  CSS Property - uključuje ili isključuje parametre selektovanog stila.   Delete CSS  Style Sheet - briše selektovano pravilo ili parametar.

Rezultat izvršavaja komande Find All i Replace all u okviru  za dijalog Find and Replace, pojaviće se na kartici Search prozora Results. Rezultati pretrage ostaće u prozoru do sledeće upotrebe  komande Find All ili Replace All. Rezultatima pretrage možete da pristupite  tako što ćete otvoriti panel Results. Da biste upotrebili panel Results, uradite sledeće:  Otvorite Web stranicu na kojoj želite da pronađete i  zamenite tekst.   Kliknite na meni Window a zatim kliknite na Results da  biste otvorili panel Results.   Na dnu prozora Dreamweavera otvoriće se panel Results sa  listom stranica koje sadrže rezultate prethodne pretrage. Kliknite na karticu  Search.   Izaberite jednu od sledećih opcija panela:  Highlight Selection - Dvostruko kliknite na selekciju u  panelu Results da biste otvorili fajl i označili selekciju u dokumentu.   Find and Replace - Kliknite da biste otvorili okvir za  dijalog Find and Replace.   Stop - Kliknite da biste zaustavili pretragu koja je u toku.   Save Report - Kliknite da biste snimili rezultate pretrage  u XML fajl. Da biste zatvorili panel Results, kliknite na meni Window a  zatim kliknite na Results.

Kada kreirate web stranicu, možda ćete poželeti da dodate  radio dugmad da biste vašim čitaocima dali izbor. U Dreamweaveru dodavanje  radio dugmeta je veoma jednostavno. Da biste dodali radio dugme na vašu web stranicu, uradite  sledeće:   Postavite tačku unosa na mesto gde želite da postavite  radio dugme a zatim kliknite na Insert > Form > Radio Button.   Otvoriće se  okvir za dijalog Input Tag Accessibility Attributes. Možete da ukucate ID i  naziv u određena polja. Zatim možete da selektujete stil i poziciju iz grupe  Style i grupe Position. Zatim kliknite na OK da biste ubacili radio dugme.   Nakon toga  možete da kliknete na radio dugme, na panelu Properties u odeljku Radio Button,  možete da promenite naziv radio dugmeta. Možete da promenite i vrednost u polju  Check Value. Za Initial State možete da izaberete Checked ako želite da se  opcija prikaže kada se formular učita.   Ako želite da  ubacite više radio dugmadi, ponovite korake 1, 2 i 3.   Ako želite da  dodate radio grupu, trebali biste da postavite tačku unosa na mesto gde želite  da se prikaže radio grupa, zatim kliknite na Insert, izaberite Form a zatim  Radio Group.   Otvoriće se  okvir za dijalog Radio Group. Unesite naziv za grupu. Zatim možete da dodate  ili uklonite radio dugme tako što ćete kliknuti na znak plus ili minus.   Kliknite na OK da biste dodali radio grupu.

Ako želite da vaš  web sajt ispunjava ceo prozor pretraživača, možete to da uradite u  Dreamweaveru. Sajtovi kreirani  pomoću Dreamweavera ne zauzimaju ceo prozor pretraživača. Ako želite da vaš web  sajt ispunjava ceo prozor pretraživača, uradite sledeće:  Otvorite novi  dokument ili šablon u Dreamweaveru.   Kada se stranica otvori, u statusnoj liniji klinite na  izraz  <div#container>. Videćete da  je u glavnom prozoru selektovana cela web stranica.   Na desnom strani prozora Dreamweavera videćete panel  Files. Iznad njega nalazi se skupljeni CSS panel. Kliknite da biste ga  otvorili.   U CSS panelu, dvostruko kliknite na stavku Width.   Otvoriće se okvir za dijalog u kojem možete da promenite širinu stranice.   Kliknite na polje Width i ukucajte broj 100. Uverite se da je u polju pored  izabran %.   Kliknite na OK. Vaša web stranica će sada ispunjavati ceo prozor  pretraživača. Zar nije jednostavno?

Kao demonstraciju kako to funkcioniše uzećemo primer sajta GrockaInfo. com. Naime, na ideju jednog našeg prijatelja došli smo do projekta koji bi imao za cilj bolje informisanje stanovnika opštine Grocka. Da bi se „pronašli posetioci" sajta moguće je odraditi više aktivnosti. Moguće je sajt reklamirati u novinama, radiju, deljenjem letaka i slično. Međutim upravo zbog velikog broja korisnika Facebooka na našim prostorima i cenom koštanja (praktično besplatno) odlučili smo se za ovakav način „pribavljanja posetilaca" sajta. Jer gde najlakše naći posetioce internet sajtova nego na internetu :). Prvo što je urađeno je osnovna optimizacija sajta za pretraživače, nista posebno, ali sasvim dovoljno da ispliva ispred zvanične prezentacije opštine Grocka, sajtova nekih firmi, političkih stranaka, radio stanica sa teritorije cele opštine. Prijavljivanje na Google Analytics je bila druga bitna stvar. GA trenutno najbolje obrađuje statistiku, problem nastaje kod prikaza korisnika wireless interneta, jer sve posetioce sa jednog repetitora prikazuje kao jednog. Tako da samu posećenost sajta treba gledati između jedinstvenih posetilaca i broja prikazanih strana. Integracija sa Facebookom je bila sledeća. Postoje više vrsta integracija, od samog linka sa sajta ka Facebook strani, prikazivanje događaja sa Facebook strane, kao i postavljanje tzv. Like dugmića na stranama i člancima sajta. Ono što je bilo najbitnije su potezi koji su se dešavali na samom Facebook-u. Za potrebe reklamiranja napravili smo stranicu (trenutno oko 5200 lajkova), profil (sa oko 1500 prijatelja) i grupu sa preko 13 000 članova (u jednom trenutku preko 15 000). Na početku postojanja sajta skoro sve posete su dolazile sa FB, kasnije što zbog optimizacije za pretraživače, što zbog odjeka koje je sajt imao u stanovništvu, sada je to malo drugacije. 30% dolazi sa FB, 30% direktno i 30% preko pretraživača, a ostatak od 10% preko linkova na drugim sajtovima. Ovakav raspored je skoro idealan za sve sajtove. Na vrhuncu posećenosti sajt je imao za jedan vikend 15 000 pregleda ili oko 7 000 jedinstvenih poseta. Jedan od krivaca za takvu posećenost je naravno Facebook i njegova mogućnost da se vest brzo prošili između velikog broja ljudi. CLOUD WEB DESIGN
